My DH looked out the backyard and right on my deck was a male Cardinal!!!! Eek Shhh It looks smallish, like it was the baby I saw last summer. My prayers were quickly answered!
Thank you GQD!!!

Just make sure the evil CAT is gone! They need bushes to hide in next to feeding area. Do you have some?

Great news, Wavy! I had a feeling there were more than two in your yard. Usually so.
Wait till you get a glimpse of those beauties on a snow-covered branch this winter!

Such colorful birds, wish we had them here. Hope this one stays safe.

Oh, I'm so glad you have cardinals. I'd be happy to send you some if I could. I have tons of them.

Update: The good news is I haven't seen the cat again since I moved the birdfeeders over a little bit and put the Cat Motion Sensor right near the birdfeeders.
Even better news is that I have seen 2 Cardinals on the same day a few days ago, and have seen a Cardinal daily now (sometimes more than once a day, it may be more than one Cardinal). I honestly believed I would have to wait a very long time to see another Cardinal. I didn't know and I'm happy & look forward to seeing them in the snow (yes, Nettie I always loved seeing them in the snow!)
Muddy, I have shrubs all around the perimeter, so the birds have moved over and now hang out in my shrubs (instead of the neighbors' trees, to be closer to the bird feeder.

Congrats Wavy - I'm glad that you still have cardinals......figured if you had one, you had to have more. I thought about you over the weekend.....There were two male cardinals fighting over the tray feeder. They were so funny!
